Raking at Sunset

On the farms where I grew up, corn was allowed to turn brown, and then the hardened cobs were harvested to be stored until they were ground for animal feed. The stalks were left in a broken mess close to the ground, and were later plowed under. The Amish repurpose the stalks, mowing them and then baling them for straw. A lot of brownish-orange dust is created. Here a team is raking the straw for later baling, and the dust mixes with the sunset to create a study in orange.
